Professor named to academy

   Judith Bower Carberry, professor of civil and environmental
engineering at the University, has been named a fellow of the New York
Academy of Sciences.
   Fellow status in the 175-year-old academy is a high honor, and
other fellows include many Nobel laureates in technical disciplines.
   Carberry has published her research on waste-water treatment,
sludge processing and toxic waste remediation in many technical
journals and has edited handbooks and anthologies of environmental
engineering technology. She also has authored an introductory textbook
for environmental engineers which has been widely adopted in colleges
and universities.
   Last year, Carberry received the Harrison Prescott Eddy Award from
the Chesapeake Water Environment Association for her contribution to
the national research journal of the Water Environmental Federation,
formerly the Water Pollution Control Federation.
   She previously received the Gordon Maskew Fair Award from that
group, recognizing her as the outstanding academic environmental
engineer in the mid-Atlantic states.
   Carberry's work to modify toxic wastes chemically for enhancement
of their biodegradability has previously been identified by the
National Environmental Technology Assessment Center as a
bioremediation emerging technology.
